Knicks battle but fall to Celtics, 113-104
Ten games into the season, Knicks coach David Fizdale was unofficially put on notice when the team’s top two executives held a press conference to say how unhappy they were with the team’s 2-8 start.
Ten games since Knicks president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry voiced their displeasure, Fizdale’s team nearly managed to produce the type of win against the Boston Celtics that would have made his bosses very happy.
Unfortunately, the operative word here is "nearly." Because after playing as well as they have all season for three and a half quarters, the Knicks were defeated 113-104 by the Boston Celtics after giving up a late 12-0 run.
